Session Description
Sometimes we can shy away from integrating technology into a traditional, discussion based classroom for fear it might interfere with the important development of face-to-face communication skills, but this session seeks to introduce ways in which technology in a 1-1 classroom can enhance and scaffold democratic discussion. Tools to enhance various aspects of the learning process and discussion experience, including inquiry, preparation, recall, engagement, response, and reflection, will be highlighted.

A Cognitive Toolkit Upgrade Bloom's Digital Taxonomy isn't about
the tools or technologies rather it is about using these to facilitate learning. Outcomes on rubrics are measured by competence of use and most importantly the quality of the process or product.

David Jonassen Mindtools are computer applications
that, when used by learners to represent what they know, necessarily engage them in critical thinking about the content they are studying.
Mindtools scaffold different forms of reasoning about conent. That is, they require students to think about what they know in different, meaningful ways.

Active Listening
“This is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, try to understand the complete message being sent.”http://www.mindtools.com/CommSkll/ActiveListening.htm
Generative Questioning
“This does not refer to the teacher asking students a question, it refers to students creating their own questions and problems, and then using the new information to answer it.”http://wik.ed.uiuc.edu/articles/g/e/n/Generative_strategies.html
